In this episode of Hotel Voices, Nikolina Christo speaks with Chaarani Bacari, founder of Akili Travel, a purpose-driven travel company reimagining how Africa is experienced by the world.

Born during COVID, Akili Travel was created to challenge unfair pricing, move away from mass tourism, and design tailor-made journeys that work hand-in-hand with local communities. From guest communication and personalization to the thoughtful use of technology, this conversation explores how travel can remain deeply human while evolving with the times.

This is travel that gives back — to people, places, and culture.
